Lunenburg Parish.?The moat remarkable
of the old seats in this parish, known to the
writer, are those of Sabine llall, belonging to
the Carter*, and Mount Airy, belonging to the
l'ayloes. Having in a preceding article given
*uiue account of the Carter family, which has
so abounded in the Northern Neck, I subjoin a
brief genealogy of the Tayloes, who hare ap
peared on our Vestry books, in the Northern
Nock, from their first settlement to the present
time
The Taylor Family.?William Tayloe [prob
ably Taylor of that day,] of Loudon, emigrated
to Virginia about 16j0 He married Aune,
a daughter of Heury Corbin (who settled in
king auJ Queen Couuty,] the ancestor of the
Corbin* John Tayloe, son of Wiilitm and
Anne, marrie 1 Elizabeth Lyde, daughter of
Major Gwynn. of E*sex County Their children
were William. John. Betsy. and Anno Corbin.
The first died young. John was the founder of
M >unt Airy. Betsy married Col. Richard
Corbin, grandson of Henry Corbin. Anne C.
married Mann Page, of Mannsfield, near Fred
ericksburg. The last named John Tayloe. of
Mount Airy, wa? a member of the Council of
Virginia before the Revolution, and was re
elected. with his colleague, by the House of Bur
gesses, during the progress of the war. He
died suddenly, on the 18th of April, 1779. leav
ing a large family. He had twelve children,
of whom eight daughters, and one son survived
him His wife was Rebecca Plater, daughter
of the Hon. Gov. George Plater, of Maryland,
whom he married in 1747. She died in 1787.
The?e eight daughter? married. 1st. Elizabeth, to
Gov. Edward Lloyd, of Maryland, in 1767; 2d.
Rebecca, to Francis Lightfoot Lee, the signer
of the Declaration of Independence, in 1769;
?id. Eleanor, to Ralph Wormley. of Middlesex,
in 1772; 4th. Anne Corbin. to Thomas Louias, of
Carolina, in 1773; 5th. Mary, to Mann Page,
of Spotsylvania, in 1776; 6th, Catherine, to
Lan ion Carter, of Richmond, in 1780; 7th.
Jane, to Robert Beverley, ofEssex, in 1791; 8th,
Sarah, to Col. William Augustine Washington,
of Westmoreland. John, son of the foregoing
John aud Rebecca, third of the name, was born
in 1771, the only son of a family of twelve. In
1792 he married Anne, daughter of Gov. Benja
min Ogle, of Maryland He died in Washington,
in 1825. Their children were fifteen, of whom
three died young. Eleven (six sons and five
daughters) survived their father. Their mother
died in 1855. at the unusual ago of 85. Five
sons and three daughters have survived her.
Their oldest son. John, entered the navy, and
was distinguished in the battle of the Constitu
tion with tne Gurriere. and with the Cyane aud
Levant. After tho first action, the State of
\ irginia voted him a sword. Hd was captured
in the Levant by a British squadron whilst
Iving at Port Praya. Cape ue Verde Islands, j
[lie married in 1?17, Maria, daughter of Gen- !
eral I'riah Forrest, who. wheu Colonel of Ar- '
tillery in the Revolution, lost a leg at the battle
ot Germant jwn. ] He died in 1&.'4. at Mount
Airy having resigned shortly before bis rank
of Lieutenant in the Navy, to which he was
promoted after his first action. Benjamin Ogle
Tayloe. the second son. resided in Washington.
Three other sons. William. Edward, and George,
resides in Virginia, and one in Alabama. John
Tayloe*. a grand-son [son of Lieut. J. T. and
Maria Forrest, the fifth of the name,) resides i
at Chatterton in the County of King George.
From the earliest accounts of this family they j
have been either warm friends of the Church,
or iu full communion with it. Many of the
male members have been (and still are) active
ttnd liberal Vestrymen.

* Mr. John Tayloe married twice First, in
1S41. to Imogen, daughter of James Mosber.
Private Secretary to James Monroe during his
Presidency; an<l second, in 1854. to Mary,
daughter of L?angertield Lewis, aud a descen
dant of the sisier of Washington.
The Tayloe family and name are well known
to many of our readers. Oneof them. "Obser
ver." is one of our oldest correspondents. Ihe
family wits identified with the American Turf
long before the commencement of the present
ccaturr, and all of the present generation have
been more or less engaged in it. either as Turf
men. Breeders, or Patrons and contributors to
the Sporting Literature of the country. The
name of Tayloe is connected with the fame of
Loviathan. Grey Diomed. Calypso, Oscar. Bel
Air, Busiard. Archduke, Shark (imported by
the late Col. John Tayloe. who was also the
breeder of Sir Arehy. and the owner of such
horses as Peace Maker, winner of a two-mile
race at Peteisburg. Ya., in 3:43, Top Gallant.
Expectation?who, when a three year-old. ran
two miles at Richmond. Ya., in 1802, in 3 47?
?kc , Ac.) We find the writings of the Tayloes
in the earliest sporting journals of the United
States Every one of the family, we believe,
have led the lives of country gentlemen on
their patrimonial estates, and although Serving
their fallow-citiiens In the Assembly aud Mag
istracy. none of the family, so far us we can
learn, have ever held office, except Military or
Navil, under the Federal or State Govern
ment. Though Bishop Meade might have
made up a list of services, civil and military,
rendered the State and General Governments
(in.erior to but tew) by this ancient family,
we eould scarcely expect him to write their
serr.ces to the American Turf, and their con
tributions to the improvement of tho horse.
Will not some one of our frieuds who possesses
rnoro leisure, and whose talent better qualities j
him for the task th??n ours, undertake a memoir i
of the Tayloe family for the "Spirit?'* It ;
wou!d be exceedingly interesting, and the writer
w->uld receive the thnnksof the Sporting World.
Every member of the family may be called
"thorough-bred," for we believe that even by
luirriajjs no inferior blood has been mixed with
the pure strain of the original stock. " Blood

CONFLICT OF TESTIMONY.
We imagine that our g<x>d Surrogate?and
there is no publio man more highly respected
by the Bar and the people?will have hit hands
full in deciding the pending c ise involving the
allegM marriage between Dr. Burdell and
Air* Cunningham. Every day shrouds with
Egyptian darkness a case already marvelously
mvsterious. There is no prominent ^ point
in* the theory of the claimant which is not
abundantly "sustained by credible and appa
rently respectable witnesses: there is not a
prominent point in the theory of the contestants,
which, if uncontradicted, would not in ordinary
ra*e* be deemed equally credible. Such a bal
ance of apparently reliable testimony, such u
bice equipoise of evidence has seldom been
weighed by English or American Courts; and
it will require all the legal acumen and dis
criminating common sense of Mr. Bradtord to
came to a safe aud rational judgment.
Ou the one hand, it is positively sworn that
Dr Burdell was married on the 28th of Octo
ber ; ou the other hand, it is equally certain
that the Doctor was in the country at that pre
cise t.uie. The Rev. Mr Marviae swears with
positiveness a* to his identity ; it is proved by
weveral witnesses, that at the inquest the Rev.
clergyman was in a miserable and impotcut
?t:?t j of doubt as to whether he had joined Eckel
or Purdeil Augusta swears positively to being
a witness of the marriage : and yet repeatedly
contradicts herself in material points.
Uu the evening of the marriage it would ap
pear that Eckel was with Mrs. Cunningham on
a mysterious visit to a corset maker; on the
same evening a complete alibi of Eckel is proven
from 7 to 11 o'clock.
One witness swears that Burdell acknowledged
his engagement with Mrs. C. ; another that he
hal asseverated with round oaths that he would
never marry; one. that he loved; another, that
he detested " the widow one. that he violent
ly ejected her from hisnwin; another repre
sents him a* sitting alt night by her sick bed. |
and asserting that " she is the deareat woman
be ever knew."
At the very moment he speaks of her to one
witness as his wife, whoee signature is necessary
V> the conveyance of certain real ?state, be is,
according to other testimony, endeavoring to
eject her from his house as a disagreeable and
dangerous tenant. He loves and hates; he
court* with silly fondnes ; he swears with de
moniac hate ; he is in New York, and he is out
of New York ; be ia in the City, in Brooklyn,
in Saratoga, in Herkimer simultaneously; he
hates Mrs. Cunningham at the very time he is
marrying her; protests love and swears re
venge in a breath; and passes his honeymoon
in writing letters about the "old toad," "whom,
according to other testimony, he hasjpat led to
the altar
Of oourse, there ia fal.se swearing in all this;
not a little perjury, but not so much as tho pub
lic imagine People are easily mistaken about
dates and facta, and identities; and here is the
great difficulty the Surrogate has to encounter.
To reconcile conflicting evidence, to harmonize
a ma#-* of contradictory testimony, to build up
an ordely aud reliable theory out of a chaos of
miscellaneous facts?this requires the highest
powers of the human intellect. The Surrogate
has a mammoth task before him, but we believe
he will perform it well.?N. Y. Mirror.
HOW NATHANIEL IIAWTliOKN*; KOSb
TO FANE.
[From Recollections of a Life-time; or Men and
Tilings I have seen. By S. G. Goodrich.]
It is not easy t<5 conceive of a stronger con
trast than is presented by comparing Nathauiel
Hawthorne with N. P. Willis. The former was
lor a t ine one of the principle writers for the
Token, and his admirable sketches were pub
lished side by side with those of the latter, j
Yet it is curious to remark that everything
Willis wrote attracted immediate attention,
and excited ready praise, while the productions
of Hawthorne were almost entirely unnoticed.
The personal appearance and demeanor of these
two eifted yonng men. at the enrly period of
which I speak, was also in striking contrast.
Willis was slender, his hair sunny and silken,
his cheek ruddy, his aspect cheerful and confi
dent. Ho met society with a ready and wel
come hand, and was received readily and with
welcome. Hawthorne, on the contrary, was of
a rather sturdy form, his hair dark and bushy,
his eye steel gray, his brow thick, his mouth
sarcastic, his complexion stouy, his whole aspect
cold, moody, distrustful. He stood aloof, and
surveyed the world from shy and sheltered po
sitions. There was a corresponding difference
in the writings of these two persons.
Willis was all sunshine and summer, the
other chill, dark and wintry ; the one was full
of hope and love, the other of doubt and dis
trust ; the one sought the open ddylight?sun
shine. flowers, music, and found them every
where ; the other plunged into the dim caverns
of the mind, and studied the grisly spectres of
jealousy, remorse, despair. It is, perhaps,
neither a subject of surprise nor regret that the
larger portion of the world is so happily consti
tuted as to have been more ready to flirt with
the gay muse of the one than to descend into
the .spiritual charnel-house and assist at the
psychological dissection? of the other. I had
seen some anonymous publication which seemed
to me to indicate extraordinary powers. I in
quired of the publishers as to the writer, and
through thein a correspondence ensued betweea
me and " N. Hawthorne." This name I con
sidered a disguise, and it was not till after
many letters hud passed that I met the author,
and found it to be a true title, representing a
very substantial personage. At this period he
was unsettled as to bis views ; he had tried his
band in literature, and considered himself to
have met with a fatal rebuff from the reading j
world. His mind vacillated between various
projects, verging. I think, towards a mercantile
profession. 1 combated his despondence, and j
assured him of triumph if he would persevere
in a literary career
Ho wrote numerous articles, which appeared
in the Token; occasionally, an astute critic
seemed to see through them, and to discover
the soul that was in them; but in general they
passed without notice Such articles as -- Sights
from a Steeple." "Sketches beneath an ( in
brella, ' '? The Wives of the Dead," 44 The Pro
phetic Pictures," now universally acknowl
edged to be productions of extraordinary depth,
meaning, and power, extorted hardly a word of
either praise or blame, while columns were
given to pieces since totally forgotten. I felt
unnoyed, almost amrry, indeed, at this I wrote
several articles in tno papers, directing atten
tion to these productions, and finding no echo
of my views, I recollect to have asked John
Pickering to read some of them, and givo me
his opinion of them. He did as I requested;
his answer was, that they displayed a wonder
ful beauty of style, with a kind of double vision,
a sort of second sight, which revealed, beyond
the outward forma of life and being, a sort of
spirit Jworld. somewhat as a lake reflects the
earth around it anl the sky above it; yet he
deemed them to be too mystical to be popular.
He was right, no doubt, at that period. but,
ere long, a portion of mankind, a large portion
of the reading world, obtained a new sense?
how or where or whence, is not easily deter
mined?which led them to study the mystical,
to dive beneath and beyond the sonses. and to
discern, gather, and cherish gt-ms aud pearls of
price in the bidden dwoths ot th? soul. Haw
thorne was, in fact, a Kind of Wordsworth in
prose?less philosophical. His fate was simi
lar ; at first he was neglected, at last he had
worshippers. In 1837, I recommended Mr.
Hawthorne to publish a volume, comprising his
various pieces, which hud appeared in the To
ken and elsewhere. He consented, but as I had
ceased to be a publisher, it was difficult to And
any one who would uudertakc to bring out tho
work. I applied to the agent of the Stationers'
Company, but bo refused, until at last I relin
quished my copyrights, on such of the tales as I
Bad published, to Mr. Hawthorne, and joined a
friend of bis in a bond to indemnify them
against loss; and thus the work was published
by the Stationers' Company, uuder tne title of
" Twice Told Tales." and for the author's ben
efit. It was deemed a failure for more than a
year, when a breeze seemed to rise and fill its
sails, and with it the author was carried on to
fame and fortune.
A New Jerskv Jtstice.?There is a scrip
ture simplicity about the following which is
Juite refreshing, and carries one bacic to anto
iluvian times.
A distinguished member of the New York bar
was retained on one occasion by a frnn 1, also a
New Yorker, to attend to a complaint made
against him before a New Jersey Justice, for
&u alleged assault and battery upon one of the
residents of the "Old Jerse^State.'*
" I appear for the prisons," said the coun
sellor to tho modern Dogberry.
44 You abbers de bris ner, do you ; and who
den be you?" interrupted tho justice, eyeing
him from heud to foot, with marked curiosity.
" I ton't knows you ; vair he's yon come from,
and vot's yer name V
The counsellor modestly gave his name, and
said.
" I am a member of the New York bar "
" Veil den." replied the justice, "you gan't
bractis iu dis here gort."
?? 1 um a counsellor of the Supreme Court of
the State of New York," reiterated the attor

4- It tou't make a pit potter," replied he of
the ermine; "you ain't a counsellor von de

This decision accounts for tho faet that New

fact, that, as soon as a sufficient force from England
